9/14/23: Real estate facing 5 major storms. Wanna use MIT's uLab to discern "What wants doing?" LIVESTREAM 10am ET

BW Bill Wendel Public Seen by 26

31 years years after Ralph Nader called for a consumer movement in housing, five major storms are crashing into the real estate ecosystem:

  1. Melody Wright, who participated in a Fortune Magazine debate about where how prices are headed, warns that the housing market is heading into a Category 5 storm;

  2. Financial experts are warning that commercial real estate sector may be heading into a downturn that could last decades;

  3. Defendants are seeking to settle case massive class action lawsuits out of court for a faction of the money that will be unleashed in the market -- $100M monthly or over $1B annually in MA alone.

  4. Sex scandals are rocking NAR, their president has resigned, and there's open fighting on social media about whether the Realtor association needs an overhaul. Meanwhile, NAR is looking for a new CEO.

  5. Finally, AI -- artificial intelligence - may do what real estate consumer advocates have failed to do over the past three decades, empower consumers to save BILLIONS annually by engaging real estate consultants on a fee-for-service basis.

How does one begin to read the signs the time and chart a way forward? Since 2015, some real estate innovators / change makers have used MIT's uLab as a framework to answer that question. Their 1st LIVESTREAM is tomorrow, 9/14/23 from 10 to 11:15am ET. Read on... https://bit.ly/RECALL_uLab_091423
